To
really touch our souls, we must journey deep within ourselves. It's an exciting
trip, full of all sorts of revelations and surprises. It can also be harrowing,
since we must go alone naked, and in silence.
Along the way, friends and lovers are essential. Good books will speak to us. So will quiet |mountains and still lakes. Even loud rock 'n' roll. We will also be made flexible. I And our sense of humor will help guide us.
Since
ancient times, men and women have known that dancing flames and rhythmic drumbeats
can become a bridge for crossing important chasms that must be traversed if we
are to make that entire journey. Today, dancing flames (flashing in precise patterns
in sophisticated goggles) and precisely throbbing drumbeats (heard through headphones)
can help you cross into places where you may encounter an important stranger-yourself.
Just
slip them on, and feel the everyday world dissolve as the mesmerizing colors and
sounds move you into another world. It can be an exhilarating journey. You may
even encounter that huge, elusive Silence. In any case, when you come back, you'll
feel calm and energetic Refreshed. And ready for whatever's next.

learning. Creative visualization. Peak mental performance. Deeper and more restorative
meditation. .Many people use light and sound machines to help them achieve any

tailor them precisely to ,your needs. Here are some types of programs ,you might
want for your L/S machine:
